The Little Girl Inside Me: My PCOS Journey

There’s a little girl inside me.

She’s always crying for help.

Not because she’s weak, but because she’s confused.

She doesn’t understand why her body doesn’t behave like everyone else’s.

That little girl… is me.

I was 17 when I first heard the words “Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.”

I didn’t know what they meant, but I knew my life would never be the same.

Suddenly, my body was not my friend anymore.

The mirror became my enemy.

Every stray hair on my face felt like a scar on my confidence.

Every mood swing became a battle I couldn’t explain.

The Invisible Struggles

People around me had their own opinions:

• “You are so moody.”

• “You are too loud, too much to handle.”

• “You lose weight, then gain it back – why can’t you stick to anything?”

What they didn’t see were the silent wars I was fighting inside.

The emotional turbulence of PCOS is something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

Some days I would push myself to do yoga, to exercise, to diet.

And when the results didn’t show, I’d quietly break inside.

I did everything I could… and yet, my body refused to cooperate.

The Pain Behind the Smile

Facial hair.

It might seem small to some, but to me, it was my biggest heartbreak.

I felt unloved.

I believed no one would choose me as a partner because of it.

Society made me feel “less than” before I even understood what self-love was.

And yet… I smiled.

I kept building my career.

I kept dreaming of a life where PCOS didn’t define me.

The Fight to Heal

Every day, I wake up with two choices:

• Give up on myself.

• Or fight again.

And every day, I choose to fight.

I may have emotional hiccups.

I may have moments where I feel “too much” for the world.

But I am still healing, still working, and still not giving up.

A Message to Every Girl Living with PCOS

If you’re reading this and fighting the same silent battle, I want to tell you something:

• You are not alone.

• Your struggles are real and valid.

• You are worthy of love, success, and happiness, exactly as you are.

Our journey is not easy, but every small step we take is a step toward healing.

And as long as we keep walking, we are already winning.

This is my story. A story of a girl with PCOS, who refuses to let the world, or her condition, define her. 💛
